I think you fool yourself into believing you are not an alcoholic but deep down inside you know you are.
I told myself all sorts of things so I didn't have to face my problem
I was in a very bad way when I finally faced up to my alcoholism but I had been in a bad way many times before. It was just this last time I finally did something about it myself. I went to AA. Then I accepted I was an alcoholic.
I think this could apply to all addictions but also I think each one of us has a different route to acceptance, reaching out for help and a desperate desire to change
I appreciate this is not specific to drug abuse but I hope it helps
